Weirdness: Snoop Lion's Latest Music Video References Pokémon and Retro Games

shofu the best pokerapper out there tho

Is this a joke? I remember when Snoop was the hardest rapper out there, now he's a parody of a joke.

wow the music sucks hard. what happened, snoop? to much weed i guess...

Well, he's getting his own fighting game, so I guess it makes sense for him to do something about video games.

I can't believe I turned down my radio to hear this. Snoop Lion is pretty awful.

Huh... what...?

Those drugs are so boring!

Don't do drugs kids. Drugs are bad.

...What did I just listen too?

Dog goes woof, cat goes meow. What does the Snoop Lion say?

Hah, I quite liked the song.

Snoop is truly the voice of our generation.
It's impossible to dislike him.

It's cool to know that Major Lazer Produced it, they're pretty good.

Gotta get away... Super cool... I always appreciate Pokemon references.

@TruenoGT That was back when he was still "Snoop Dogg"

@turtlelink DIGGERSBY THO

Hm... I dunno what to make of this...
It looks like an awful newgrounds fan flash video, and the song is pretty lame and uninspired. The references don't really cut it for me.

@Gold DIGGERSBY THO

Snoop Dogg plays retro games, Lil' Jon plays Dragon Quest, Lupe Fiasco never leaves his house without his DS...

The hip hop industry really has a thing with video games haha

@WesCash He was a voice of last generation, and kept hip hop alive during the immediate deaths of BIG and Pac, along with Jay-Z. This generation, he's turned from one of the first to one of the worst. Immortal Technique, Lupe, Eminem, Kanye, Mac Miller, actually pretty much everyone except Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj are better than Snoop this generation.

First that Rayman commercial and now this.

Holy hell Snoop.

@2Sang The hardest rapper out there? Do you even listen to Hip Hop,? I could name 20 rappers off the top of my head harder than Snoop "high as shizzle" Dogg

Well that was interesting.....I do like the pokemon reference but I have mixed feelings with his current direction in his music.

@2Sang Lmao riite! He changed lol

I think Snoop Dogg likes video games more than Soulja Boy....

Ah yes... nothing like a song like this to remind me why I listen to rock.

LOL Snoop must have been high when he made this song in fact isn't he always high?

I don't care if it makes reference to Pokemon; this video is awful. Now add in the audio, and it's plain atrocious. I couldn't finish it, it's just that bad.

Snoop doesn't care about games or Pokemans. This is a video put together by his record labels production/marketing crew to coincide with the new Pokemans XY craze... Millions of Poketards will buy his album or download this track just because of the reference

Very chill.

man, lot of unwarranted negativity directed snoop's way. Hes been around long enough I think hes earned the right to change his life/musical style as much as he pleases

He can do whatever he wants, instead of what the producers tell him the sheep will buy, kind of like the reverse of the Offspring.
Now his old stuff is mainstream, he wants to try something new. It's better than churning out the same stuff for 20 years.
Personally, I think it's a bit repetitive and it could have done with a couple of things added.

Lol, I enjoyed it surprisingly a lot more than I thought.

What in hell happened to Snoop? I remember when he used to make rock hard rap, but, now, THIS?! I guess he smokes weed everyday.

...Especially the Hot Pockets Music Video he was in.

Whatever, I can dig it.

They could have made the flying cars dodge the enemies' attacks, even if just a little bit. This nonexistent game looks too easy.

@2Sang dude those rappers you listed, are horrible. Underground is waaaay better. Hopsin, Techn9ne, Schoolboy Q, CES Cru

At least it's not EVERY OTHER RAP SONG ON THE CHARTS!! So he wants to cool it down a bit, and hire a decent pixel artist for decent video while he's at it? Go for it I say!

Also, let's all just chill out and enjoy some (The) Clash! They havn't, and never will be beaten.

@AutumnShantel You only listen to Rock? How sad.

@yuwarite: Yes, I lead a pathetic life and every day I wish it was more fulfilling than it is. lol Not really. But yeah, mostly all I listen to and all I play. I did not say it was the only thing I listen to, though. Read better.

@AutumnShantel You'll probably grow out of that 'mostly listening to Rock' stage when you're older.

@yuwarite: I'm 24... and only love it as time passes, for many reasons that I don't feel like listing. Furthermore... why on earth does it mean so much to you? lol Please stop wasting your time talking to me and worry about yourself.

@AutumnShantel Well you're posting in a public forum, where what you post is subject to someone responding to you. If you don't want people to reply then keep your opinions to yourself in the future. Anyway, I just can't stand most modern Rock; I think it's as vapid and soulless as most pop music. A lot of it feels like its marketed towards people who play CoD or who think Alienware computers are edgy, lol.

@yuwarite Hey wait...but I don't listen to modern rock. And my original post wasn't an opinion. Haha!

@AutumnShantel It took you 2 years to reply and you still get your facts wrong... And your original post was about you saying "nothing like a song like this to remind me why I listen to rock" aka an opinion that expresses discontent with the music in the article and a opinionated preference for Rock. Bye-bye now.

@yuwarite I haven't been on in a year, and I was looking back at my profile and replies and saw this. I thought it would be funny to reply now... you over-analyze.
Hope you have a merry Christmas!
